Just mentioned it because when Bo got a slight ligament strain the vet radiographed to make sure he didn't have a blind splint.enduranceridestuff.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675520499223277797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-80899124239380243522011-03-06T13:55:00.661-08:002011-03-06T13:55:00.661-08:00I ultrasounded it but didn't radiograph it.

It is nice to hear that you have a plan and that Farley will be able to be at your parents place for rest and rehab. You have a lot on your plate right now...so glad that you can see the silver lining!

The suspensories were in each hind leg. One presented normally. One presented with immediate three-legged lameness that made us all say, "Well F***!" Thankfully, my boss was the type to let a horse rest and heal and get back to normal so Oz made a full recovery. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you because I've known horses who never recover, but I'd like to be the voice of hope on this time.Domhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139769676714813261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-16583070875448866082011-03-03T17:54:03.963-08:002011-03-03T17:54:03.963-08:00I think that any horse person who competes can emp...I think that any horse person who competes can empathize with the drive to always be making the most of a sound healthy horse by doing stuff (and not always taking a breath and just enjoying the sound healthy horse). It sounds like you are in a good head space about all of this. You might just be putting up a front, but even if you are the ability to put up a front is still a lot more than most could manage. <br /><br />I actually did not freak out when I read the diagnosis. It seems totally healable to me. It does suck, because as you know it could make the area more susceptible to injury, but since you clearly have a conservative rehab and healing plan with a horse who has been proven to heal herself I think that this is totally just a pause in your plans. <br /><br />My Gen had 18cm of black (i.e. no tendon) out of his 23cm of Superficial Digital Flexor tendon and with enough luck, time, and money he can run around his field pain free, which is enough for me. If you ever want to know about stem cells or plasma from an owners perspective I have been there and done that for my pony. With such a small injury area I think you don't need to worry about any of that stuff.<br /><br />((((HUGS))))OnTheBithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07688127613313016544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963277636652034473.post-62425859559265862372011-03-03T17:50:58.870-08:002011-03-03T17:50:58.870-08:00Silver linings.

Thanks for putting things in perspective and for your positive thinking.<br /><br />I will miss you and Farley on the trail (I was already looking forward to our next outing...) and wish you both the best for this long road to recovery. I know she'll be great throughout and she will have the best caretaker out there. <br /><br />Hugs to both of you!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06962795087243534984noreply@blogger.com
